Miles to Go: Circles

[wishiknewwho]

Title: Circles
Author: wishiknewwho
Rating: G
Characters: Ten / Rose, OC
Dislcaimer: I don't own Doctor Who and it's probably just as well that I don't because it'd be nothing but hugs and hair ruffling for the foreseeable future.
Spoilers: None for DW; takes place in a world where Doomsday never happened. However, if you intend to read my fic Miles to Go and don't want it spoiled, you might want to wait on this one.
Summary: The Doctor helps Rose to fall asleep.
Author Notes: Another one that's been sitting around for a while. It's very short, but I promise that I have some very good things to come next week.

I'm not sure who beta'ed this, but my bets are on salimali  and electrictoes .


He slipped into bed beside her.  She turned over and frowned.  It was 2 am. 

“What’s wrong?” he asked. 

“Can’t sleep,” she said, pushing her hair out of her eyes with a frustrated sigh. 

He kissed her gently, then pressed against her shoulder.  “Lay on your stomach,” he whispered. 

She gave him a confused look, but did as he asked. 

“Lift your head for a moment,” he said, and when she did, he flipped her pillow over so that it was cool against her cheek. 

Once she was settled, he slipped his hand under her shirt, smiling as she shivered at the feel of his cooler skin against hers. 

“Be quiet,” he whispered in her ear.  “And think happy thoughts.” 

She closed her eyes and he began to rub her back in small soothing circles, the very ones he used to lull Kira to sleep.  It only took about ten minutes before he felt her body relax and heard her breath slow down into a steady rhythm.  Like mother, like daughter, he thought, pressing a kiss to her shoulder. 

“Good night, love,” he whispered into her skin, then laid his head next to hers on the pillow and waited for his own sleep to come.

Awwwww. I love your fluffy fics. :)

Like mother, like daughter, he thought
Heh, I'm sure that goes for the...more frustrating traits as well. ;)

[wishiknewwho.livejournal.com]

Oh of course. It's always Rose's fault when Kira does something that irks him. ;)

Glad you enjoyed.

*melts in to a puddle of goo*
They are so sweet! I love that she's comfortable enough now to let him take care of her.

...I just picked up Narrow Stairs for $6 on amazon mp3. I'm listening to it now and wandered over here for some MtG rereading. Finding a new ficlet was icing on the cake. =)

[wishiknewwho.livejournal.com]

I love that way you put that, and I think you are exactly right. She's finally getting comfortable with him.

And yay for DCFC goodness! That CD took a while to grow on me, but it has become entwined with this fic for me.

Yay! I'm glad I was able to cheer you up.

You have read this one before, right?

[salimali.livejournal.com]

You have read this one before, right?

Oh yes, oh so long ago. I'd forgotten just how much a simple little ficlet could mean so much :D

This is lovely <3

[wishiknewwho.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[milieva]

Aww That's lovely. Fluff is always nice, no matter how short it is.

[wishiknewwho.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I have a hard time writing short stuff, but every now and then I manage it.

[milieva]

Tell me about it.

I started what was supposed to be a short multi chaptered fluffy reunion fic, five chapters at most. It has since hit ten chapters and is growing, there is next to no fluff left in it.

I needed cute happy fluff. My own angst is rotting my brain.

[wishiknewwho.livejournal.com]

I always sit down to write a drabble and come out with 1000 words. Brevity is not in my nature.

And I know the feeling. I tend to write a lot of angst, and then I just need a break and have to write some fluff.

Good luck with your story.
